Weigh in Wednesday I think there is only a few people who stay active on this thread :O( but I have to share because it helps me to stay motivated. I am down another 3.6 pounds it is an amazing feeling though this week has been hard compared to others I have just felt so weak, like body weak, and my hair has really started to fall out I get my Protein I take the Biotin and everything else and I know it is apart of the surgery process but it is still unnerving. I went to the Dr last week and they changed my goal weight to 180 and once I hit that we will readjust as needed maybe I should update my tracker I don't know I feel like I am in a little bit of limbo land right now. I hope all of you are feeling healthy and taking care of your amazing selves

You're doing awesome! Yeah I've noticed this thread has gotten quiet, too. I think now that we're all a few months out, the focus has shifted to just living our new lives now haha Not as much to talk about I guess unless someone has a specific post-op question or concern. I've got my 3mo appointment with surgeon on 1/31 so I hope my Vitamin levels in my updated lab work are up to snuff.

Down another 2.2 pounds on this weigh in Wednesday man it has been a rough week though, feeling down on myself, the Hair loss OMG the hair loss its everywhere I feel like I am half german shepard with the amounts that I am loosing. I have to admit that old feeling of oh you are feeling down eat something did not show up this week, something I have been working hard to recognize, accept, and then move on with; and this is a positive for the week. I hope all of you are working hard on healing physically and mentally !!!

Hair started falling out mid December and it has just gotten worse :O( I take the biotene and get the Protein 60g daily but I am going to look at increasing the protein a bit and also looking at taking coq10 man its a process to get this stuff right

I had rny surg on 10/17/17 & am down 50 lbs in all as of now. Not sure how that compares with others at 4 months out, but I’m happier than I ever imagined! Your right though, it gets quiet after a couple months out because we’re all settling in & readjusting to our new lives we’ll. I know for myself I only get on this app now about every 2-3 weeks & then it’s only if I have something I’m wondering about. I’m always curious about my fellow October rny peeps but it would be easier to text per phone at least for me. (Cuz I just don’t check in as much as I use to). Anyway, I love seeing everyone’s results!!😃👏🏼👏🏼

Anyone else an October buddy yet?

We had surgery on the same day! I’m down 52 lbs exactly in all (142#HW, 227#SW, 190#CW.) I’m happy with my weight loss but excited to see how much more I can lose. It’s cool that I found you & am excited for you too!! Hugs! Jen

I had RNY 10/30/17. Yesterday I had my 3 month appointment. I am down 90lbs. Today I had to go for my second endoscope today due to structure and ulcers. It's been a rough 3 months. I'm tired of throwing up and feeling like crap.
Hope my other October peeps are faring better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
